Hey everyone, looking for your opinions on this decision. I`ve narrowed my choice down to these two and am really having a tough time choosing. I like the looks of the M3 a bit more, but it would also end up costing about $200 more per month than the ATS-V. Your help is appreciated! Thanks

Hey guys, So yesterday my wife accidentally spilled the contents of a 24 oz. soda in my car. The mat is weathertech, which is great, but unfortunately much of the soda flowed right down the mat and on to the carpet that sits immediately in front of and right below the seat. So I went ahead...

Hey guys - I just picked up a new e92 M3 and have had the car for about 1800 miles. I thought I took all the necessary precautions, getting a clear bra on the front bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors. However, while washing the car the other day, I noticed that there are several small chips on...

Hey guys, I recently picked up a car that has Nappa leather seats and I just noticed that there is a light scratch in one of the side bolsters. I'm guessing this was done by a belt buckle, or something along those lines. Is there anything I can apply or do to repair this myself? Or should I...

Hey guys, I normally never have any drinks in my car, but the other day I was coming home with a 32oz soda that I was carrying in my hand. A car in front of stopped abrubtly and I ended up dropping the soda due to the sudden stop. The soda fell squarely on my drivers side floor mat. The mat...

Hey guys, I found a small chip towards the front of my hood that is down to the primer. I attempted to touch it up and it looks ok, but the chip is still shallower than the surrounding paint. What is the best way to remedy this? Should I just keep layering the paint until it is level with the...

Hey everyone, I just picked up a new car last week and it has black leather seats. A few days after delivery, I noticed that there was about a 3 inch scratch / scuff on the passengers seat upper bolster. The scratch is very faint and can only be seen at certain angles, but it still bothers...

Hey guys, I just got my car back from getting detailed yesterday. Before taking it in I let the detailer know that I had a few horizontal hariline scratches on the hood. These scratches had a faint white appearance and were visible from most angles (still not sure how they got there, although my...

Hey guys, I've recently been thinking about buying a new front bumper due to a few scratches/chips on my current one. However, the front bumper on my car is emblazoned with a VIN sticker at the top. My question is, is this something that would be able to order and put on my new bumper? I know...

Hey guys, I currently have a magnetic black 370z and while it's in excellent condition, it does have a few few very small chips from salt and the like. They are small enough that they are really only noticable to me, but I'd like to fix them either way. My question is two-fold, I was...

Hey guys, I've had my car for about 6 months now and when I wasw washing it today, I noticed a few scratches on the trunk and hood area. The scratches are very fine and can only be seen from certain angles, but I'd still like to remove them. I've searches the forum and there seems to be a lot...

Hey guys, a few weeks ago I curbed one of my rims and ended up buying a replacement. My existing tires are almost brand new, so I just hacd them mount the new wheel onto the existing tire. Everything looked good initially, but recently I saw that there were several scrapes/scratches along the...

Can anyone reccommend a good, basic steering wheel cover? I'm not looking for anything special, just something that will provide basic protection and slide off and on easily. Thanks

Hey guys, I have a small scrape on my passengers side-skirt that I posted about in a seperate thread here: http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-detailing/124924-scraped-sideskirt-options.html I attempted to touch it up myself and did a decent job I guess, but I didn't do any wet sanding or...

Hey guys, I was driving home late last night and as luck would have it, I clipped a curb and scrapred my sideskirt towards the rear wheel. The picture actually makes it look a little worse than it is, but right now it looks like my options are the following: a) Touch up the spot as best I can...

Hey guys, I'm pretty paranoid about keeping my seats clean and free of tears / pulls and the like. I know seat covers would be the obvious solution, but I don't want something that is so cumbersome to take off on a regular basis. That's when I came across the following: Instant Seat...

Hey everyone, recently I took a friend of mine home after playing basketball and upon arriving home I found that the passenger seat of my car was damp with sweat! I immediately wiped down the seat with a wet rag and 303 upholstery cleaner. My question is, should I take any other precautions...

Hi everyone, Recently I discovered that I had a small scratch on the black plastic door panel on the interior of my car. I was told by a friend to use ScratchX, even though it's mainly for the exterior. So I very lightly rubbed on a dab of ScratchX with my finger and then wiped it off with a...
